What are the differences between redux-persist and localStorage?

Redux Persist is a library that helps you save your Redux state to localStorage, while localStorage is a web API for storing data in the browser.

When should I use redux-persist instead of just localStorage?

Use redux-persist when you want to manage complex state with Redux and need automatic state rehydration. LocalStorage is simpler for basic data storage.

Are there any performance differences between the two?

Yes, redux-persist can introduce some overhead due to its additional features, while localStorage is more lightweight but lacks state management capabilities.

Can I use both together?

Absolutely! You can use localStorage with redux-persist to enhance your Redux state management.
